Bamboo Chairs

I was quite excited when I saw a set of bamboo chairs at the French Market. To me they are a timeless staple that can look quite lovely in almost any setting. I love the black with gold detailing, quite stunning.

As always when I come across a piece that inspires I start on a hunt to find the settings that I imagine. One of my all time favorite kitchens by Windsor Smith is one of my favorite examples for the use of bamboo chairs. A long table right in the middle of the kitchen flanked with a combination of chairs is perfection in my book.

Nate Berkus uses a pair in a living space. I adore how they can be used in both a feminine and masculine space.

This is most decidedly a feminine space with major a glamor factor. Designer Erin Gates definitely knows how to add a bit of wow.

I normally refrain from using much color, but this space has me singing a new tune. It feels quite sophisticated, but the color most definitely adds touches of fun.

This space is probably most like me, simple with classic pieces and a bit of rustic charm. I rather like understated design.

What a beautiful post!!! I love bamboo chairs. The first picture of them in black..ooh la la! Then the second picture of them in that kitchen....wow, so beautiful. And in fact, in each picture they look just stunning, they are just gorgeous in every room. A true love!

I have a single bamboo chair that I adore. I'm constantly rotating it around my house because it makes such a statement in any room I put it in :) So glad I found your blog. You've collected such lovely imagery.
